Maria DeSimone on the topics of love, horoscopes, astrology

Expect a few tests this weekend in the romance department, thanks to several grouchy aspects the Moon in partnership oriented Libra will make to other planets. The good news is that you’ll focus on your relationship with your significant other because Libra is the quintessential “we” sign. The bad news is that tense aspects connected to the Moon this weekend will make careful mediation necessary in order to avoid trouble in paradise.

Saturday will be beautiful, however — especially before the evening. The Moon will connect perfectly to Mercury, allowing an easy flow of conversation with your mate. You’ll both feel comfortable speaking from the heart and your emotions will be expressed in a way that your partner is receptive to hearing.

Don’t think you got away clean, however, because late Saturday night into Sunday evening the Moon will square Pluto, oppose Uranus and square Mars, which will be anything but easy. Lover’s quarrel, anyone? A tense square between Mercury and Saturn on Sunday fortifies the idea that compromise will be difficult … but necessary.
